What can I do about it?

Email your MP (find them here) and tell them: “I fully support action to stop climate change. I am urging the Government to acknowledge the impacts of climate change, reverse cuts to the Environment Agency, fund future flood prevention and to support the Green Party’s flooding plan”.

Your Eastern Green MEP candidate Rupert Read said:

"The only way we can stop future flooding is through action at the European level. The Coalition are just paying lip service to the chaos caused by climate change and despite making a fuss about it now, they will do nothing to stop it from happening in the future.

"We (The Green Party) have been warning of this type of climate disaster for almost a decade. It seems like David Cameron and Owen Patterson, like Cnut, have their fingers in their ears, whilst the water laps at their feet. We must tell them to act now.

“Perhaps if Conservative and UKIP MEPs were really serious about acknowledging the nature and consequent risks of manmade climate change, they might get serious about taking action to stop its effects. If I am elected in May, you can bet your bottom Euro that I'll back to the hilt EU endeavours to bring in serious flood prevention measures."
